Log in as superuser, lp, or assume an equivalent role on the print server.
Add a form that is based on a form definition.
# lpforms -f form-name -F /etc/lp/forms/form |
-f form-name |
Name you choose for the form. |
-F /etc/lp/forms/form |
Name of the form definition. |
For more information, see lpforms(1M).
The form is added in the print server's /etc/lp/forms/form-name/describe file.
Verify that the form was added by checking for a listing of information about the form in the output of the following command.
# lpforms -f form-name -l |
The following example shows how to add the medical form that uses the medical.fmd form definition.
# lpforms -f medical -F /etc/lp/forms/medical.fmd |
Before the form can be used, one or more printers must be given access to the form. For more information, see How to Limit Printer Access to a Form.
